ORIGINAL: witpqs

I want to dive into PBM, but I absolutely hate sitting and watching the combat animations and combat summaries. I play without them and simply use the various reports produced instead.

I know that settings have to be the same between the two PBM players, and my question is does this include combat animations and combat summaries?

Do I have to find an opponent who also plays without combat summaries and combat animations, or can we each have our own settings for those switches? Just for reference, here are the settings I use (and folder 'SOUND' is renamed 'noSOUND'):
